Simplenote-electron: Windows: Can't select all text in a note using Ctrl + A

[nekocodeX]

How to reproduce

1. Create a new note
2. Type a longer sentence
3. Press Ctrl + A

Expected

All text in the note will be selected.

Observed

As you can see in this screenshot, only a certain amount of text will be selected.

Press Ctrl + A twice to increase the amount of text to be selected, but not all of it.

Where did you see the bug

• OS: Windows 10 Pro
• OS version: 20H2 (Build: 19042.608)
  (It may not be relevant, but the OS language setting is Japanese.)
• Simplenote app version: 2.0.0

Hi @nekocodeX, thanks for the report. Are you able to select all text from the top menu with Edit -> Select All, or does that have the same problem?

[nekocodeX]

Hi @codebykat, thank you for your prompt reply!

Edit -> Select All worked fine.
It only seems to be reproduced when using the Ctrl + A shortcut key.

Happens in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS too.

Yeah, whatever's wrong with keyboard shortcuts seems to be going on in both Windows and Linux. I think they may have the same root cause. I'm investigating.

same here on Linux client. (Arch Linux)

The number of lines selected seems depends on window width.

Selecting menu item “select All” will always work. Only keyboard shortcut is out of order.
